Hello.

In my country parcel delivery is overloaded as nowadays it is mostly everywhere. Usually after failed delivery parcels go to a service point to be given out when the recipient can go get it. As the delivery service no longer uses paper notification cards sometimes the parcels go unnoticed and are returned.

For this i came up with a project .

I'd like to build a parcel box. One that is locked electronically and opened by pressing a button. Which activates a camera recording until the box is closed again. It should also record sound and I'm debating adding motion activated camera as well.

When the courier comes deliver a parcel they can unlock the box and place the parcel inside. And the box closed automatically with a spring and the lock . The video is meant as security for opening the box so it is visible the package is delivered or not.

Would this be a viable project and what would i need software and hardware wise?
